She started back in 1999 as a writer (creating downloadable ebooks before it was a "thing") and website developer, and rather serendipitously ended up in social media and inbound marketing in 2010.  She says the HubSpot content marketing methodology just made everything "click", and it's almost too easy to make it work with Pinterest. She doesn't like to be called an "expert" or "guru" in anything, but she sure does love Pinterest and what it can do for businesses!
